This European Standard specifies the technical requirements, the appropriate dimensions and the requirements for testing. This European Standard applies to castors and wheels which may include braking and/or locking devices, specifically for manually propelled use in an institutional environment. This includes for example, shops, restaurants, hotels, educational buildings and hospitals. Castors for specialised applications may also have to conform to other specialised standards.
